Thank you for this detailed description of the stone lantern in front of Mu Ryang Su Jeon Hall. You are right one of the Buddha has different position of his head. That reminded me the stories of Dan Brown like "Da Vinci Code" where the characters were searching for the decoding the secret that might been hidden in the works of Da Vinci. So who knows that particular sign might be left by old mason as a hint for something that we currently do not know. It is like these conspiracy theorist who probably will find it interesting.

I noticed some coins at the foot of the lantern, that might be a tradition, like a wish well in Europe :)
